Closer to a Series S in GPU, and faster than a PS4 in CPU terms

🤔 Eoin O'Grady at Black Shamrock, a Virtuos studio, noted that the GPU is "slightly below the Series S", but because of new tech such as Nvidia's DLSS upscaler, it makes it more comparable to Xbox's more affordable current-gen console However, Switch 2 supports Nvidia’s DLSS whereas the Series S doesn't, which, according to Eoin O'Grady, the technical director at Black Shamrock, a Virtuos studio, "makes the GPU capabilities of the two consoles comparable overall."
